Anyone who has followed the Is Hillary Finished thread knows I hate Hillary and have been hoping for her demise at Obama's hands...I generally have a favorable opinion of him, even though I tend to lean Republican, and would consider voting for him...
But I think he has a growing problem.....
unfortunately, the Clinton campaign has succeeded in making race a factor - whether by Bill or Hillary's comments, or those of surrogates like Geraldine Ferraro...
Look at the Mississippi primary....it is no surprise he got 90% of the african american vote....but what is surprising is that unlike several other recent contests, he did not carry the white male vote.... maybe just a function of Mississippi, but maybe something more...
So now we have video clips of his pastor, making the following comments:
The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America
the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism"
We started the AIDS virus
Now I dont necessarily agree with the idea of guilt by association - noone can be responsible for the words/actions of all their associates....But remember this is the pastor that Obama says has been a major inspiration for him. He has been a member of that church for 20 years.
Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."
In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial."
I disagree, and I think a lot of people are going to be shocked by these videos...Put this together with his wife's statement "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." and rightly or wrongly, some people may start having second thoughts....
Hillary may not be finished after all
